Preceptresses of Etiquette
Sometimes the etiquette of European countries sorely puzzles the American woman of means when she contemplates a foreign tour or is about to receive in her home some distinguished foreigner. Other women of superior social station, but less wealth, profit by instructing them in the various points. These instructresses are usually women who have lived abroad in former days of affluence. Their position is analogous to that of Dickens’ celebrated Mrs. General. —Morning Tribune, 1904
